11:45 Rho Aias is based on shield of Ajax, Greek hero of Trojan war. He had massive shield, covered with seven layers of thick hide and it was the only thing that could withstand attacks from Hector, hero of Troy.
@@TheGenreVerse To put everything in perspective, Rho Aias having withstood Hector's Durindana spear gives it a bonus defending against spears, so the fact that Gae Bolg gets through to almost the last layer is a BIG deal
Kuzuki was raised as a disposable weapon making him emotionally stunted, basically an empty husk. He is unable to understand his own feelings but he actually just loved Caster, and she loved him, who was the first person to show her genuine kindness. So I guess you can say that he did everything in the story on a whim.
18:50 in case of Trace On, it`s not really name of spell, more like trigger words for self-suggestion to concentrate on casting process. This ritual is different for different mages, and even if it can be mimicked in theory, it doesn`t give any benefits on practise.
those who saw Fate Stay Night (2006): "from this point they will explain the great mysteries Fate (2006) left behind, its special ending and that dagger. Last one to be ruined by watching it in the wrong order".
in the bluray version of episode 16 you do get an extended scene/dialogue between archer and Kuzuki (like 3 min 41 sec) and we learn a litte more on him.
Honestly, after "learning" Arhcers "identity" the first time, we didn't think to dig into that for anything additional. At this point we're so wrapped up in who we know these characters as from what we've seen to think of additional stuff like that during a reaction. Archer is clearly different from a normal servant at this point, and I think that's got us occupied.
@@TheGenreVerse oh I can't blame that mindset at all. The reveal here was as compelling as Berserker in Zero that I always hope people don't dig too much and enjoy the surprise. Keep going!!!
So, it seems that Archer betrayed Rin to get rid of her command seal that prevented him from hurting Shirou, use Caster`s power to defeat Berserker and probably other Servants, then backstab Caster, taking her out and eventually Assassin and finish his businnes, whatever it is, with Shirou after that. Something like that. Not to mention that Archer baited Lancer into using attack that he could counter at least somehow and burn Caster`s energy in process, since she was his Master at the moment and supplied him with mana.
To elaborate on this, Archer would had died if Lancer used the regular activation of his spear's noble phantasm. The spear, when activated normally, can reverse the sequence of cause and effect. Think of a book, now erase everything and on the last page, write down that the person died, then go to the first page and fill in the blanks leading up to that event, usually being "it stabbed their heart, therefore they died" When the spear is thrown after activation, it loses the ability to rewrite causality but gains massive amounts of nuking power. Archer has nothing to defend against reality warping shenanigans, but he does have something that can block projectiles such as a thrown nuke with 100% certainty, which is why he baited Lancer.
2:28 in simple terms, he just wants to help her. Regardless of right and wrong. 3:24 he’s a man plagued by emptiness. Basically. 7:28 spying. Basically. 11:06 no. There’s a much simpler reason. 11:41 this is the trick up his sleeve. 16:28 that’s Casters weak spot. She’s an extremely powerful as a mage. But she is no match when forced into close combat. Modern mages have weaker abilities compared to their ancient counterparts, so to compensate for that weakness, the Tohsaka family in particular incorporated Chinese Martial arts with their magecraft. 17:35 it was. He said it himself. He chose the path he decided had the greatest chance of success. 18:22 farewell, Medea. 18:46 that’s not what she means. 19:06 not time travel. 19:14 you assumed he was Fergus. 21:22 basically, the reason for his betrayal was that it was the best method to defeat Caster. And to remove the shackles preventing him from killing Shirou.
Not sure if you're just being a bit tongue-in-cheek or not, but if you're not: There is nothing new under the sun and anything and everything that can be thought of, has been thought of, before us, by us, and will be again after us. Since this is written by a modern human, it's not exactly something that can be outside what any other modem human can think with access to the same information on the past, mythologies, and theology, right? If you are just being cheeky... I'LL JUDGE WHAT I WANT! 😆

RIP Atsuko Tanaka, who passed away a few months ago. She voiced not only Medea, but Jing Ke and Carmilla in F/GO as well

Shirou is also genius archer from school archery club
Perfect shot, like can hit berserker while he is fighting saber level good
@@kojoappiah7088he only ever missed once and that was just to experience how it felt to miss.

8:55 That was very personal, if you know Lancer`s legend
🤔
@@TheGenreVerse Cu Chulainn translates as Hound of Chulainn. His legend has quite a lot dog-related moments
The words a person uses to activate a spell are completely unique to them
Not really...Shirou's case hoewer is special since Kiritsugu wasn't really interested in teaching Shirou complex spell's

It's the 10th anniversary of the Fate/Stay night UBW anime 🎉🎉
Odd you looked up Caladbolg but not Rho Aias, or the relationship to Fergus and Lancer Cu Chulain. It's a neat side read as far as relationships go.
Isn`t Fergus like foster father to Cu or something like that?
Exactly. Alarm bell why Lancer didn't recognize him if that's the assumed identity.

7:25 War just started back then, so Lancer`s master used him for recon, to test other Servants

damnit archer
why did you leave that gap in the swords!?
